I was backing down the street rather quickly one day and heard a high pitch whine that I usually hear going in reverse but the sound continued as I went forward. I then discovered that I was leaving a pool of transmission fluid when I would switch the car into reverse. It's an automatic transmission. The fluid smelt and looked burnt and I took it to a mechnanic that I'm good friends with and he recommended that I have the transmission rebuilt since it had to come out anyway to fix the front seal. I agreed to that and he sent the car out to who ever does his transmission work for him. A day later the transmission people that he uses said the Front Pump was cracked and would have to be replaced. Anyone ever hear of this happening i.e. the Front Pump cracking? What should I expect to pay for the rebuild?
